摘要:
This invention relates to proteins or peptides which elicit T cell mediated immunity, and to cancer vaccines and compositions for anti-cancer treatment comprising such proteins or peptide fragments. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the proteins or peptides and methods for generating T lymphocytes capable of recognising and destroying tumour cells in a mammal. More specifically, a telomerase protein or peptide for use in a method of treatment or prophylaxis of cancer is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises generating a T cell response against telomerase.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective and safe drug for a patient suffered with central nervous system manifestation caused by Trypanosoma brucei.SOLUTION: There is provided a method including (1) a step of preparing a protein including a specific amino acid sequence, or the like, (2) a step of measuring kinase activity of a reaction mixture liquid containing a test compound and the protein prepared in the step (1), (3) a step of measuring the kinase activity of a reaction mixture liquid containing the protein prepared in the step (1) in the absence of the test compound, and (4) a step of comparing the kinase activity of the step (2) with the kinase activity of the step (3).
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide polypeptides derived from tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase, shorter than polypeptides present in nature, having chemokine action, useful for investigation, diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic applications and useful for controlling vascular endothelial cell functions, particularly for inhibiting angiogenesis especially intraocular vascularization. SOLUTION: An isolated, water-soluble polypeptide derived from tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase is useful for inhibiting angiogenesis. The polypeptide consists essentially of the amino acid residue sequence of the figure or its angiogenesis-inhibiting fragment. The isolated polypeptide has a size of no more than about 45 kilodaltons. Methods of use of the polypeptide are also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
